Got a tip for a future 3-Bet? Drop a note in the comments and we'll take a look.
Today in the 3-Bet we find New Jersey soft launching into the online poker game, Phil Ivey hosting a bizarre home game and Jake Cody offering a 2% cut of his EPT Prague cash.
1) New Jersey iGaming Goes Live with Soft Play
And then there were three.
The state of New Jersey officially ojined the online gambling fray today with the launch of "soft play" on 13 licensed casino/poker sites.
What exactly is soft play? Basically live, real-money play for an exclusive group of invitees monitored very, very closely. The six permit holders granted soft-play approval:
Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa(Platform bwin; Sites www.Borgatacasino.com, www.Borgatapoker.com, www.NJ.Partypoker.com)
Caesars Interactive Entertainment New Jersey - Affiliate of Bally's Park Place(Platform: 888; Sites: www.HarrahsCasino.com, www.WSOP.com, us.888.com, us.888poker.com, us.888casino.com)
Caesars Interactive Entertainment- Affiliate of Boardwalk Regency Corporation(Platform: Amaya; Site: www.CaesarsCasino.com)
Tropicana Casino and Resort(Platform: GameSys; Sites: www.tropicanacasino.com, www.virgincasino.com)
Trump Plaza Associates(Platform: Betfair; Site: www.betfaircasino.com)
Trump Taj Mahal Associates(Platform: Ultimate Gaming; Sites: www.ucasino.com)
Missing from the list of approved license holders is the Goden Nugget. More info from NJ.gov here.
2) Ivey's Home Game Gets Weird
Ever wonder what Phil Ivey's home game looks like? It's weirder than you might think - no one uses any chips.
Sunday night poker. Everyone is playing like animals. Can't get a read on anyone. #poker http://t.co/91ypQ8FNpq

3) Wear a Christmas Sweater, Get a Cut of Jake Cody
So, this seems like a very good deal with very little effort needed.
Just take a pic of yourself wearing a delightful Christmas jumper (sweater to the non-British) and you could get a 2% cut of PokerStars pro Jake Cody's EPT Prague Main Event cash.
Jake will pick his top 3 favorite pics and, if he cashes in Prague, transfer your cut right into your PokerStars account.
